RE: [Phptest-users] Random answers solution!

[Luis Lebron]

I found a different solution. In qtypes/cmultiplechoice.inc.php, in the draw_test_question function I changed the line that read

$rand = mt_rand(1, 4); //right before the switch statement

to:
                               
if(strcasecmp($row->answer,"All of the above")==1)
        {                      
                $rand=3;
        }
if(strcasecmp($row->alt_1,"All of the above")==1)
        {                      
                $rand=4;
        }
if(strcasecmp($row->alt_2,"All of the above")==1)
        {                      
                $rand=1;
        }
if(strcasecmp($row->alt_3,"All of the above")==1)
        {                      
                $rand=2;
        }
if(strcasecmp($row->alt_3,"All of the above")!=1 && strcasecmp($row->alt_2,"All of the above")!=1 && strcasecmp($row->alt_1,"All of the above")!=1 && strcasecmp($row->answer,"All of the above")!=1)

        {
                $rand = mt_rand(1, 4);
        }

This will force a switch type if one of the choices is "All of the above" otherwise it will use the normal random function.

What I have done is make a new question type. It is a single entry answer
question so basically in the question you ask the user to pick either a, b,
c, and so on and the user enters the correct letter into the answer box. If
you want this you can download it from here:
http://www.technowizards.net/phptest/csingleanswer.zip

This file is meant to be used with the mods_1.zip file, you may need to
modify the csingleanswer file if you are not using it.

Cheers,
